To understand the essence of Amy Winehouse Frank, you need to understand something about the singer. Amy Jade Winehouse, a young singer and songwriter who changed the history of British music, arose with her debut album in 2003. Little did everyone expect, the talented young girl got a lot of positive criticism from the music critics which led to her instant fame and motivation to work on another album which would later become the reason of her setting a new world record for female artists and for the British music scene. Is the album worth the price? Find out in this review.
Amy Winehouse Frank – About the Album
Amy Winehouse Frank was originally released on 20th October, 2003. The album is overshadowed with a deep love of jazz with a twist and it proves that jazz can be enjoyed in a cool and fun way as well. The best example is the first song of the album “Stronger Than Me.” Most of the songs in the album were written by Winehouse herself and they make use of a blunt expression and quite truthful lyrics which are painfully honest. With her songs, she proves that she can undoubtedly excel in the art of soul jazz.
Amy Winehouse Frank – The Songs
All of the 13 songs in Amy Winehouse Frank are starkly realistic and prove to be a work of art. She plays with her powerful and husky voice to deliver sexually charged songs. The soft jazz in the background provides a laidback beat to her strong voice. The phrases, questions and titles of songs are blunt and honest and raise a question to the many stark realities of her life including her own.
A young girl who was self-tortured by manic-depression and self-destructive mental illnesses has tried to deal with all her problems in life through her songs. Combining jazz with a rueful and somewhat humorous way of presenting a no-bull attitude seems compelling. The lyrics of Amy Winehouse Frank are mostly fresh and appealing to the audience and whatever setbacks are present in the album can be owing to the confused beats in between. Her live performances, on the other hand, have proven that Amy Winehouse has the unobtrusive skill to play with her voice and meet the demands of live performances.
Amy Winehouse Frank Recreated
Many critics believe that the tortured-artist routine that Winehouse had going for herself was all fake. It is visible in her songs but are more apparent in her following album. The album before reaching the American audience was somewhat modified and the two songs “Know You Now” and “Moody’s Mood For Love” were pushed from the original soundtrack order to a spot down below. Whatever the reasons for Amy Winehouse’s persona, she still remained in her life and afterwards a powerful soul jazz vocalist.

Back to Black Amy Winehouse CD Review

The Back to Black Amy Winehouse CD is the second album from Amy Winehouse since Frank. Brought out in 2006 it was the last album to be released in her life time. Should you fork out your cash and buy it though and is the album all it’s cracked up to be? Find out more in this blog post.
This Back to Black Amy Winehouse CD involved her working with Salaam Remi (Joss Stone) and Mark Ronson (Lily Allen fame). The result? A sound which is an eclectic mix of jass, reggae and motown. As soon as it begins the material is attention grabbing. The songs sound familiar yet it is brand new at the same time. Amy is a great storyteller and she makes no apologies for her troubles with drink, anorexia and bulimia here.
The Back to Black Amy Winehouse CD opens with her autobiographical signature track Rehab, telling the story of her refusal to enter rehabilitation clinics. Her sultry original voice lends great to the material and it only gets better with tracks like Back to Black and You Know I’m no Good. The album however seems to lose steam in the second half. Some Unholy War seems to drag and Addicted appears to be an artificial attempt at glamourising her habits.
Back to Black Amy Winehouse CD Favourites
Tears Dry on Their Own (my favourite single on the album) from the Back to Black Amy Winehouse CD is no doubt the most heartbreaking thing she ever had to write. It confirmed that her self destructive nature went hand in hand with her musical talents. It”s strange because most of the music on the album doesn’t feel like it was made after the 1960′s. The album though showed her maturity since her debut album Frank was released.
Back to Black Amy Winehouse CD Sales Sore
Following her death, sales of the Back to Black Amy Winehouse CD sored. Her second album reached the top of the iTunes charts in just about every country. Here in the UK the album reentered the charts on 24 July at number 55. The following week it reached the top spot. Her debut album Frank also made it to the top 5.
Back to Black Amy Winehouse CD: Yay or Nay?
The album contains some of Amy’s best tracks including Rehab. The second half of the album isn’t quite as good as the first, but that’s just me being picky. The verdict? It’s a superb comeback and possibly the best album of 2006. Commemorate the star by purchasing your Back to Black Amy Winehouse CD today.
